The actress has played Mercedes McQueen on Hollyoaks since 2006 and is now the longest-running star on the soap
The health scare comes as the Hollyoaks team get ready to cut the amount of episodes aired during the week.
In April it was announced there was to be up to 20 stars axed from the show as it becomes the latest soap to be hit by stringent budget cuts.
However, Jennifer who has been on the soap since 2006, remains in her role and is now the longest-running star on Hollyoaks.
With the changes came the sad news that jobs would be cut, with cast and crew axed. A number of fan favourites have left the soap with Stephanie Waring, Ross Adams and Emma Rigby being some of the big names set to leave the show.
Other departures have seen Owen Warner, Jamelia and Theo Graham all leave in recent months.
The soap has planned a dramatic time jump a year into the future to apparently explain some of the exits, after reports up to 20 characters would be leaving the village.
It was revealed in May that Hollyoaks had become the latest soap to be hit by stringent budget cuts, with show bosses planning to reduce the workforce by 40 per cent.
Last month the actress informed her fans on social media that she found a lump on her breast but assured fans it was ‘nothing to worry about’
